Players have been grumbling about Moss's lack of effort during
games and his lack of respect to others, particularly during an
incident involving a outside catering company that served the
team a post-practice dinner.

As the proprietors helped serve chicken, ribs, pasta and other
dishes to Vikings players, Moss paced up and down the serving
line and loudly expressed his displeasure with the offerings.

According to one player who witnessed the scene, Moss yelled,
“What the [expletive]? Who ordered this crap? I wouldn’t feed
this to my dog!”

Said the witness: “It was brutal. The truth is, he
deserved to be cut after that. It was such an
uncomfortable moment. You know that feeling where you just can
tell someone feels so small? That’s what it was like being there.

“This wasn’t a chain – it was a mom-and-pop restaurant, and you
could tell it was their best stuff. They had a special carving
station set up, and there were players and other support staff
lining up to eat it. And [Moss] is at his locker saying, ‘You
know, I used to have to eat that crap – but now I’ve got money.’
You just felt so sad for them. I had never seen anyone treated
like that.

“And by the way, the food was actually really good.”

Of course, this story still doesn't let "Chilly" off the hook.
He's still the one who made the decision to bring Moss in, even
though everyone in league knew what a troublemaker he could be —
including the team that gave him away for Minnesota's third-round
draft pick.

Plus,
as Silver adds, most Vikings still side with Brett Favre in
his disputes with the coach.
